Identity & Growth Dreams
Dreams that reveal who you're becoming

How Dreams Process Identity
During major life transitions—career changes, becoming a parent, ending relationships, entering new phases of life—your dreaming mind works overtime to integrate these shifts into your sense of self. Dreams about childhood homes, old versions of yourself, or symbolic transformations (like finding new rooms in a house) are your psyche's way of updating its internal model of who you are.
These dreams often feel significant precisely because they are. Your subconscious is doing the deep work of identity evolution that your conscious mind might resist or not fully grasp.
